There are a handful of players who have a strong argument to feature, but will Liverpool’s head coach be willing to make the necessary changes? Frankfurt The expectation is that Slot has to make the necessary changes to his starting lineup after naming an unchanged side in the defeat to Man United.



There is an argument to drop Mohamed Salah, but he has more trust from Slot than Federico Chiesa, for example, with Cody Gakpo and the returning Hugo Ekitike likely to make up the front three. Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike With Alexander Isak starting three games in a row for club and country, it is realistic to suggest Ekitike will be the man chosen to lead the line, but Slot could opt to play both of them.

There has been an obvious resistance from Slot to start Chiesa, but the Italian has been involved in four of Liverpool’s last five goals and is playing with the confidence Salah currently isn’t displaying. Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Szoboszlai; Chiesa, Wirtz, Ekitike; Isak There will also be arguments for Joe Gomez, Alexis Mac Allister and Bradley to start, and they are all worthy options for Slot.
